That is a different topic, this is just the exact kind of thing that does need to be exposed and reported.

On the contrary...the removal of these officers and the disciplinary measures being taken by the leadership serve to reinforce the concept of discipline.

If nothing were being done about the violations, I might agree. Instead, of the 2 mentioned, one is facing discharge and the other’s career is limited to possibly 20 years and more than likely, will not see anything above their current rank.

Your posts don’t make any sense.

Yep, the “Bent Spear” incident was extraordinary and needs to be explained.

Yes I have seen the movie. Being a USAF veteran I associate Broken Arrow with a nuclear accident. I never saw any evidence of a “Broken Arrow” in the article.

Yes, girls have been down there for quite some time. Nice work environment, especially when you get a pair of lookers that like to visit.

I had a similar experience in the late 70’s, raging blizzard, visibility so poor we could not see buildings or road signs, just tracks in the snow a few feet in front of the pickup.

Finally there was one of those momentary letups, we could see the beacon on the control tower and we were south of it. Looked around and we were right by a B52 in my POV. I did a quick U-turn, and under the protection of near zero visability we made our escape undetected.
